history

The mighty church was built from 1794 to 1804 as the New Parish Church on a plateau outside the village of Fliess in an exposed location above the Inn Valley at a point where there was previously a Barbara chapel. It was consecrated on October 9, 1804 by Karl Franz von Lodron , Prince-Bishop of Brixen .

architecture

The baroque church has a double tower facade. The nave has four yokes , a short gallery yoke , a front yoke that swings into the choir arch and a choir with two yokes and a flat, round choir closure. The church with a basket-arched barrel with lancet caps with surrounding beams has segment-arched windows with skylights. The west gallery stands on Tuscan wooden pillars. The baroque pulpit was built around 1775.

The station pictures around 1800 were probably painted by Joh. Mathias Jelly, who is also credited with a portrait of the client dean Nikolaus Tolentin Schuler († 1832).

During a renovation of the church in 1902, the gable shows a mosaic medallion by Josef Pfefferle . Inside, the church was completely painted in a baroque style by Johann Kärle and Thomas Köhle with pilaster marbling , window frames, ornamentation in the walls, gallery parapets. The picture program shows in the choir the glory of Saint Barbara , prophets, Christ meets Mary, the feast of Pentecost; Crucifixion in the nave surrounded by christological scenes, birth with epiphany and shepherd adoration, surrounded by scenes from the life of Mary.

Furnishing

The high altar and the four side altars date from 1902. The high altar with a relief Gloria of St. Barbara above the tabernacle and the figures hll. Joachim and Anna above the two sacrificial portals are by the sculptor Adolf Vogl. The side altars Herz Jesu , Herz Mariä , St. Aloysius , St. Johannes Nepomuk was created by the carpenter Clemens Raffeiner.

During the external restoration from 1971 to 1972, a porch with a bronze door relief by Engelbert Gridle was added.

The organ was built in 1869 by the organ builder Franz Weber .

Bells

The ringing of the new parish church in Fliess includes five bells. The large Maaß bell was cast by Johann and Bartlmä Grassmayr in Habichen in the Ötztal in 1821 and hangs in the north tower. The four other bells hang in the south tower and were cast in 1980 by the Oberascher bell foundry in Salzburg.

The mood of the bells is:

H 0 dis 1 f sharp 1 a 1 h 1

In autumn 2011, due to the tower swaying, the belfry of both towers was renewed by the Gloria company. The technical system comes from Schauer & Sachs.
